[Ylona]:
All the fame, all the press, all the money can destroy your mind
But I am a different kind
'Cause I won't give in
All the diamonds and the shoes
Anything that you fantasize
Everything you like on one condition
I only wanna be what I want
I only wanna feel how I feel
I only wanna be who I am
I'm sorry if I'm being too real
But they keep blowing me up when I wanna shut down
Pulling me in when I wanna go out
Telling me no when I get too loud
I just need a little bit of space right now
But they keep blowing me up when I wanna shut down
Pulling me in when I wanna go out
Telling me no when I get too loud
I just need a littlе bit of space right now
[Jamilah]:
Back up uh
What!?
[Ylona]:
I just need a little space right now
Evеry move that I make
Someone's telling me I did it wrong
But I'm singing to my own song (my song)
Why don't you sit and listen
All this pressure on my mind
All these rumours and all the lies
Too much in my head I can't decide
But I won't give in
I only wanna be what I want
I only wanna feel how I feel
I only wanna be who I am
I'm sorry if I'm being too real
But they keep blowing me up when I wanna shut down
Pulling me in when I wanna go out
Telling me no when I get too loud
I just need a little bit of space right now
Blowing me up when I wanna shut down
Pulling me in when I wanna go out
Telling me no when I get too loud
I just need a little bit of space right now
Uh tell 'em sis
I just need a little bit of space right now
[Jamilah]:
Uh Jamilah
They wonder how these wonder women won it all
(winnin')
Money made, money spent like we run a mall
Poppin' off at the mouth 'cause we can homie
Give the truth to my fans 'cause my fam know me (yup!)
We hot L.A. summers ain't got nothin' on us
Suddenly, everybody wanting something from us
Girl power
World power
And we ain't stoppin' 'till the motherfuckin' world's ours
